| Feels like Kaina is carrying a lot of responsibility in this episode. Not going to lie, I like the exploration and uncertainity of this series. As it takes place on a fantasy planet, anything could happen like that brief but dangerous storm. The sky looked dense though and we see more otherworldly creatures roaming about. This almost feels like being stuck in a survival game with that cold weather. |

MrOhsem said: Not to mention there's 11 episodes total. Am dropping this show. There's no redemption at this point. World building is very intriguing but that's about it. Everything else is just bad.Stupid pathetic and boring. 5 Episode waste just for chit chatting plot |
| Kaina being led by Yaona to the series of underground tunnels leading to the Snow Sea, all while Ririha is escorted to Atland for negotiation terms. The Snow Sea is deep but not dense and vast all around, and there is danger all around, but yet, if the both of them tread their journey safely, everything should be fine. Reaching the surface of the Snow Sea in the hopes of reaching Ririha safe, Kaina missed the mark and almost endangered his own life, therefore missing the time frame needed to save Ririha. And as if Valghia hasn't made their point clear, if Atland doesn't make a decision soon, there'll soon be war and bloodshed. Finding Ririha at a place where they didn't expect to find her, will Kaina and Yaona save her out of trouble? |
 |
| Holy shit man Handagil is ruthless. Kinda fucked up of Ririha dad to just send him to die like that as well. Ririha might have got thru to amerote, her demeanor seems to have shifted there at the end. Don’t think she’s necessarily onboard with everything her country’s doing but complies out of loyalty. Some more really good worldbuilding and political intrigue. I think at this point we’re for sure going to have to have even more than the movie to fully tell this story. |

| I'm getting more and more interested in this story with each episode. Maybe it's boring for some people but I like this kind of slow revealing of the world and its mechanism and honestly think this episode was pretty realistic, especially with the fact that getting to this island didn't turn out as planned. I really dig the sense of emptiness this world gives |
| Another fabulous episode where the world continues to be built. I like the pace and the development of the "underwater" area a bit, those creatures are wild. The CG was only distracting a couple of times for me, when the faces seemed to be on autopilot. Otherwise good stuff for me. |
| They didn't make it in time, even if they did I wonder what could have they done. The part with them inside the sea was beautiful. |
 |
| I liked this episode more than the others. Yaona adds a lot of life to the plot. But, because of this very reason, I am afraid he might die. The inside of the sea seems to have normal gravity, and no noticeable upthrust. I wonder what the sea actually is. I am not a huge fan of Ririha and Kaina just yet. Those two are rather boring, and they seem to be following a romance arc despite having this highly intriguing world to explore. I wish they just roamed around in this world like Killy did in BLAME, or like Kaina and Yaona did this episode. |
| Very convenient for the boys that the Bad Guy decided to put the princess in a cage instead of sticking her head on a pole. |
| It's obvious the envoy with that provocative message was going to be killed in a period of war. Who should be blamed for it? the king, the envoy, or the author? |
| Welp its unfortunate that they didn't make it but atleast they find out that Liliha is okay. That trek definitely deepened the bond between Kaina and Yaona and now their even more commited to saving Liliha. That Handagil guy is a cruel guy, just straight up killed that solider. Once again the worldbuilding was beautiful especially the sea, the story is very intriguing as well. Lets see if Kaina and Yaona can save her next week?? |
 |
| Are they ever planning to address the question of "what -is- the 'snow sea'"? 'cause it's obviously not snow, and the more the characters interact with it, the more it bugs me that they've just not bothered explaining anything about it at all... |
| I wonder how they lost buoyancy in order to be able to walk under the sea (of unknown liquid), they used some sort of ballast? Maybe that was addressed (here or in a previous episode) and I missed it? |

kuroneko99 said: It happens repeatedly that we mistakenly regard the world in the show as ours I am not doing that mistake. kuroneko99 said: The sea thing doesn't include precious water Yes I know. kuroneko99 said: and it would have relative density less than 1 (or that of human to be precise). In previous episodes they were floating in it. Maybe it's that thing which look like small scabbard that they put on their backs which is causing the buoyancy? Kaina and Yoana didn't putted those (I forgot to check in the episode)? |
MrOhsem said: Stupid pathetic and boring. 5 Episode waste just for chit chatting plot Hardly. I am enjoying it. World building is great and storyline is holding true. |
| Yeah nah i'm done, waited long enough for anything interesting to happen. |
| Great episode, we get to see some adventures again! What's more of an adventure is using a creature underwater to help them travel faster, until, Kaina flopped on the tree's roots underwater... ouch. Now the real rescue begins! 😶 |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| This has turned out a really pleasant watch. I predict that Nekomimi Helmet ends up switching sides to help Liliha. |
MrOhsem said: Stupid pathetic and boring. 5 Episode waste just for chit chatting plot Salty because it’s not endless action sequences, aren’t you.  |
| Yeah that admiral guy is ruthless with killing the messenger, damn. It was cool to see both Kaina and Yaona walking through the snow sea and even though they missed the negotiation time (what could have they done?) at least the princess is alive and in a cage on top of the ship. I'm not sure why the Valghia decided to do that but it may make rescuing her easier. |
| Sooo.... is anything actually interesting going to happen any time soon? So far this has been..... very bland and very boring. |
 |
| Huh I overestimated them, thought they would pull it off. The water must be dense asf to be able to just walk. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Hmm I guess this is gonna be a letdown after all... like the setting is nice and all but without decent characters, it's all for nothing. I will still watch this but now I just don't expect much. |
alshu said: Plus how is it that so called "snow" sea is transparent after few meters of opaque surface "snow"? : ))I wonder how they lost buoyancy in order to be able to walk under the sea (of unknown liquid), they used some sort of ballast? Maybe that was addressed (here or in a previous episode) and I missed it? P.S. It was ok episode overall imo, a bit slow paced but I don't have big issues with that. P.P.S. I bet it is heavily inspired by Nausicaa Post-apocalyptic world in both, with still ongoing tensions between survived "nations", plus mutated plants/animals environment. And the characters ofc: Liliha - Nausicaa Amerote - Kushana Kaina - Asbel |

| >Maybe it's that thing which look like small scabbard that they put on their backs which is causing the buoyancy? that's exactly what she said. they sink without it. boy I hate this weird quoting thing mal has now. it just breaks on me and I can't format it freely. |

| Ririha bluffing about the Sage but of course Amerote didn't buy it. Sadly they didn't make it in time, but maybe there is another chance to saving Ririha. |

| the sea level keeps rising, with lots of cities being submersed, "maybe one day it will reach the canopy" Ririha wanted to defeat the monsters of the forbidden house, what a fearless kid the light thing is chasing him now Yaona once fell in that spot, and now it was Kaina's turn Ririha talking to the enemy girl, trying to fool her with a story of the sage lol it's nice that she learned some stories pretty sure she didn't believe the story, but she can see that Ririha is smart with her answers the woman wanted to use Kaina in trade for Ririha but the king denied it the attendant came to tell them about Kaina and Yaona being missing, but he didn't care Yaona almost fell, and that bit that went down made the bugs attack them lol they had to hide inside the tree time for a break, even if time is short, and better use that time to do necessities, otherwise you might to them during the fight lols the captain(?) came to look at Ririha and he says he likes her look of defiance but he looks like he is blind... i'm confused Yaona was tired as hell, but Kaina didn't want to leave him behind oh no, they went in the wrong direction ... thankfully they could use the bugs to bring them there they arrived there just in time, but Kaina fainted from the fall... what will Yaona do now? one of Ririha's soldiers came to talk, but his negative answer cost him his life, lol if it's to give a negative answer, might as well not give any... only thing it di was give them one more death seems like that guy wasn't the only one, there were 2 more outside that got killed, oh God, this king is dumb lmao it looked like the guy was gonna kill her too, but she is now in a cage outside... well., that gives Kaina, who finally woke up, a last chance... with the blessing of the light right behind him now, is she alive or did they hang her dead body to show dominance? ... hopefully she escapes alive, cause i don't know if i wanna finish the anime with just Kaina lmao |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| I just have a feeling that the red-haired girl doesn't exactly share the same ideals as the ruthless admiral... |
| judging by the look given to amerote, i'm thinking that there may be something in her past or values to disagree. was she always part of their military? does valghan ever take in the prisoners of war to become part of their infantry? |
| The admiral hadn't heard the axiom don't kill the messenger, huh? |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Shooting (or stabbing in this case) the messenger is the best way to let the viewers know the villain is properly valueless. The extensive dialogue and travelling sequences really do highlight the scale of the world, especially when so much of it is covered in a barren ocean of snow. Rescue operations like this aren't easy when you don't have the resources at your disposal that the Valghians do. I'm not entirely sure why Ririha was left alive and shoved into a cage when the Valghians made a point of mentioning they were going to kill her, but that talk of execution could have just been for the sake of sadistic demoralisation. They likely still think she can be used as a bargaining chip. |
